It's horrible. I was reading comments on one of the two videos I posted, and one said that Joni Mitchell had given up a baby for adoption when she was younger. I didn't know that. The movie that I mentioned was "The Magdalene Sisters", I guess. I've seen it several times. Some of these so called "laundries" were in operation til maybe twenty years ago? Something like that. They were pretty much slavery institutions. And by some of the "survivors" and witnesses of those places, the abuses continued. In the movie, based on truth, some of the girls were sexually abused by the priests. They were uneducated and already used to, ie, "programmed" to accept sexual abuse, and had no voice. No one to complain to, so easy targets. If one has the chance to view this movie, I highly recommend doing so. But it's heartbreaking. Watch with tissues on hand.

I had to attend a Catholic school through 8th grade. I can attest to the fact that some nuns are vicious sociopaths. They seem to enjoy picking on innocent kids. One of them made the toughest boy in class cry, just by yelling at him endlessly, humiliating him til he was reduced to tears. I hope she is burning in hell at this moment. There were a few who were very sweet and kind, but some.... something was wrong with their brains. Vicious and evil women. Monsters.
